Right now my application zooms into a white screen as it is launching.
I have noticed Google default Android apps using a launch image while their app binaries load.
Does Android offer the ability to use a launch image for an application? I do not mean a splash screen that is on a timer AFTER the app has launched. I mean a static resource that is shown while the app is loading. Like the Apple launch image. Thanks.
Example of launch image for iOS here.

Splash Screen is the very first screen the user sees when they open up an app on a mobile device. It's the very first chance of creating a positive impact on the users. It appears while the app is loading when the user has just opened up the app. Many times the Splash screen is called a launch screen.
The most straightforward way to create a simple splash screen was to create a dedicated theme overriding android:windowBackground with a drawable containing branding colors or a bitmap of a logo. The theme was set as an attribute of the launcher activity in AndroidManifest. xml.
Run Image Asset StudioRight-click the res folder and select New > Image Asset. Continue by following the steps to: If your app supports Android 8.0, create adaptive and legacy launcher icons. If your app supports versions no higher than Android 7.1, create a legacy launcher icon only.

This will show a splash screen in the small amount of time before the app is initialized. If you do not feel like clicking:
